The bus stops several times during the tour. The first stop is

in Little Havana. At each stop, there is plenty of time to exit
the bus, take pictures, and stretch your legs. Your free souvenir

This excursion also includes a visit the Florida Everglades. At
Gator Park, you'll see all kinds of wildlife - such as alligators,
turtles, snakes, fish and exotic birds - as you take a 40-minute
airboat ride deep into the Everglades National Park. All tours
are narrated by professional guides so you'll have the opportunity
to learn about the unique wetlands and its native inhabitants.
You will also see how to wrestle
a large alligator at the exciting Wildlife Show. And if you are
brave enough, you can even hold a baby gator in your arms!See

tour.
